I'm looking to replace my old Logitech G15 (10 years old now) with a mechanical and I cant make up my mind, there is such a huge variaty out there now. I will link some of the ones that are either recommended or I like the look of.

Going to hijack your thread Monkey as i want to know what you are thinking of your keyboard so far since you've got it?

Looking to get a new keyboard before/after Christmas to finally replace my Logitech G15 (not broke but think its time for something new). I went out and bought myself a Corsair M65 mouse yesterday so i want a Corsair keyboard to match it. Now I do like the sound of the Strafe RGB , same as yours (even though my original opinion was a complete contrast) but there are one or two things that put me off design wise. Personal choice really but i don't like the font used for the letters, look a bit too much like a RAT or Razer keyboard, i prefer the style and font of the second choice i'm looking at the k70 .

Also did you get your keyboard in the MX Brown, Red or Blue? From what i've read Brown appears to be best mix between the Blue and Red?

It depends what you're looking for in an RGB keyboard. If having bright vivid lights and a true 16.8M color spectrum are more important for you, get the Strafe. Strafe also includes a USB port that the K70 doesn't have. The Strafe also uses a much more "gamer" style font like the one found on the Razer Blackwidow, some people like it, other's don't.

If you want the aluminum build, thick braided cable and the volume knob with media keys, get the K70 but you'll have to settle for the 512 color mode or a 16.8M color mode with flickering. It's a shame Corsair never bothered to update their LED controller in the K70 to something found in Razer's Blackwidow or the new Strafe RGB line. I personally love clicky mechanical keyboards like MX Blues or even Razer's Green switch, but if you absolutely want the quietest mechanical keyboard then definitely go with the Strafe.

Not having a USB port on my keyboard (as handy as it is) isn't a major worry as i have had to plug my G65 into a port on the back of the PC as the port of my Logitech G15 wasn't powerful enough. Shame it doesn't have the 16.8M colours but seriously is it really needed?!?!

PS: Does anyone like the logo that is on the Corsair Gaming mouse i bought; I didn't realise (probably why it had £5 off) that it had the old logo before Corsair changed back to their original (slightly altered) logo in the following picture

I don't know whether i like the tribal logo or not...?!Also the K70 keyboard is on offer at PC World at £130 for the tribal logo version (basically v2) but to get it online for the new logo version is at the cheapest £155 roughly...surely i can't justify the difference for just a cooler logo???
